9:15 Because of all their evil in Gilgal,
I hate them there.
On account of their evil deeds,
I will drive them out of my land. 1
I will no longer love them;
all their rulers are rebels.
9:2 Threshing floors and wine vats will not feed the people, 2
and new wine only deceives them. 3
8:3 The women singing in the temple 9 will wail in that day.”
The sovereign Lord is speaking.
“There will be many corpses littered everywhere! 10 Be quiet!”
9:1 I saw the sovereign One 11 standing by the altar 12 and he said, “Strike the tops of the support pillars, 13 so the thresholds shake!
Knock them down on the heads of all the people, 14
and I will kill the survivors 15 with the sword.
No one will be able to run away; 16
no one will be able to escape. 17
11:1 Open your gates, Lebanon,
so that the fire may consume your cedars. 18
